>> Overthinking results in indecision and unrealistic solutions. The left is often paralysed by its own paradoxical approaches to problem solving. As a result, there is often a lot of talking, and a lot of hand waving, but not a lot of action. << we should all be so lucky if that were only true!

That's wrong. Where do you think the terms, "knee-jerk liberal" and "bleeding heart liberal" came from? And what about all those expensive social programs that for 60 years have cost trillions upon trillions of dollars and still haven't accomplished their goals? Reminds me of an old saw: The difference between a liberal and conservative is that if a non-swimmer is flailing in the water 15 feet from the end of the dock, the conservative will grab a 12 foot rope, tie one end to a piling, and throw the loose end to the victim, encouraging and cheering him on to use his instincts, innate abilities, and inner strengths to stretch, paddle, and reach out 3 feet to grab the rope and pull himself to the dock. The liberal, on the other hand, will take a 20 foot rope, coil it up, throw the whole thing to the victim, then walk away to do another "good deed."
